NY Times and Washington Post “Intelligence Sources” Under Inspector General Investigation

The Sunday Talk Shows are filled with various left-wing punditry using two media reports from the Washington Post and New York Times claiming anonymous, albeit transparently political, “intelligence officials” who state: the Russian government “hacked the U.S. election“.

wikileaks-duckFirst, the media’s choice of wording is critical within both reports.

It is impossible to “hack an election“. What was hacked was the DNC email system, and John Podesta’s email. WikiLeaks published the content of both “hacks”.

Additionally, WikiLeaks has denied the source of the information was a foreign government.

Both The Washington Post and New York Times, simultaneously, published articles on Friday claiming anonymous sources within the CIA (note: intensely political CIA Chief John Brennan in charge) point to the Russian government as the originators of the hacking. However, both articles are written with very obtuse and non specific language intended to cover over the fact these reports are not actually stating the official intelligence community are making these specific claims.

All other media outlets subsequently take this illogically based presentation and spin their coverage whereby the “DNC hacked” becomes “the election hacked“.

The Media Is Not a Reflection of RealityIn essence, the MSM takes a politically manipulated original intelligence claim and pushes a political media angle within a manufactured story of their own creation.

When the media reports on their own media reports the concentric circle of a self fulfilling narrative expands toward the infinite horizon of nothingness.

Various Trump administration officials are then commanded to show up for interviews where they are asked to respond to the content of media reports which are based entirely on other manipulated media reports….. And that’s where we are today.

However, if anyone could actually pause and call out this nonsense they might find it useful to reference the already well known politicization of the entire intelligence community apparatus. The politicization was/is so severe it led to an inspector general investigation:

More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials.

The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.

“The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said. (link)

If, and that’s a big IF, there is any substantive truthfulness behind the politicized CIA accusation obtusely outlined within the Washington Post report, there is every reason to believe the anonymous sources are the same manipulative “senior intelligence command” already under inspector general investigation.

It is transparent to everyone the net intention of this ‘hacked election narrative’ is to provide the professional political UniParty class in Washington DC with a fortified defense mechanism to thwart off the incoming swamp draining.

The use of corporate media to protect the corporate legislative body is as familiar, and predictable, as Senators John McCain (see: Keating Five), and Lindsey Graham, fighting against term limits and finance reform on behalf of their corporate interests/benefactors, Wall Street and global interests.

However, moving forward there is considerable room for previously outlined optimism. The corruption within the intelligence community officials appears so severe, the White Hats are rising up from within the Defense Department to tackle it head-on.

With General Mattis as Secretary of Defense, Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor, General John Kelly as Secretary of Homeland Security, a top-of-class West Point graduate in Mike Pompeo brought in to take over and undoubtedly purge the CIA, and a lame duck struggle breaking out over the NSA with Admiral Mike Rogers, the implications are pretty obvious.

The white hats we have needed within the national security and intelligence departments are responding from a select group within the Defense Department. This DoD surge appears to be why corporate interests are railing against “too many generals”. The DoD generals also appears to be why all of those interests -within all of those corrupted political intel institutions- are going nuts thinking about what lays ahead.

Mounting evidence supports the ongoing thesis the Department of Defense has actually seceded from the political elites. A wonderfully patriotic soft coup has taken place; and with the election of President Donald Trump, the white hats are poised on the horizon to reconstruct a nationalist-minded defense, security and intelligence apparatus.

This is the fundamental paradigm shift many have quietly discussed, yet few imagined possible. Elevate your thinking… I mean REALLY elevate. Now, Look closely:

Handout picture of al-Sisi kissing the mother of an army officer, who was killed during the recent Egypt uprising, during the graduation ceremony of a new batch of non-commissioned officers at the NCOs' Institute in Cairotrump vet

They have much more in common than people are currently grasping…. Think about it.

Is it time for President Trump in 2017 to end the CIA?

President Truman did not trust the OSS and its increasing power.

At the end of WWII, he signed an ExO ending the OSS.

September 20, 1945, President Truman signed Executive Order 9621, terminating the OSS. His Order became effective October 1, 1945. In the days following, the functions of the OSS were split between the Department of State and the Department of War.

The State Department received the Research and Analysis Branch of OSS (originally created by Edward Mead Earle[28]) which was renamed the Interim Research and Intelligence Service or IRIS,[29] headed by U.S. Army Colonel Alfred McCormack. Later it was renamed the Bureau of Intelligence and Research by the State
Department.

I remember Julian Assange stating that the source was NOT a foreign government, and that there would be surprise if the source was ever known.

This leads me to think it was someone inside the DNC, so they might not really want to find out how this information got out there.

Just like the “recount”; be careful what you wish for....

[Jim Robinson]

Bump!

The DNC e-mails were most likely leaked by Seth Rich.
The questions about his murder are what they are trying to obfuscate.

[GOPJ]

WikiLeaks has denied the source of the information was a foreign government.

WkikLeaks doesn't 'share' a lot but they also don't lie to us. I tend to take them at their word. Not so with the Washington Post or New York Times.

[ForYourChildren]

This is getting so out of control.

I believe we are at a tipping point.

The msm has completely bought into this, and has fully committed their last breaths on this issue. If this is shown to be a nothing burger, which it is, the msm will lose all what little credibility they have left. Therefore, they have to go the complete distance. They have to get Trump removed.

Similarly, the CIA has fully staked their reputation on this. If this is shown to be a nothing burger, which it is, then the CIA will lose all credibility. The CIA has allowed or promoted this to spiral out of control. Therefore, they have to go the complete distance. They have to get Trump removed.

So this is a dangerous time.

This is the msm last gasping breath for relevance. And the CIA is pushing it.

They have no way out but to get Trump removed.

[Former Proud Canadian]

So the biggest purveyors of “fake news” are the NYT and the WP. Wow. Who knew?

[frnewsjunkie]

This new phrase, “fake news”, which everyone is using.. is political correct for “lies”. It softens the truth and makes it sound like something other than a LIE.

[grania]

It was appalling from the getgo that the media had “CIA sources”. How pathetic and dangerous is it that their useful idiots in the media can so easily be exploited? And McCain and Graham? They’ve now been totally exposed as tools.

[Lady Heron]

If this is shown to be a nothing burger, which it is, the msm will lose all what little credibility they have left. Therefore, they have to go the complete distance. They have to get Trump removed.

Oh, it is way past being a nothing burger.....It is a massive underpinning of a US election by intelligence agencies or those on the left complicit with the media lying about intelligence.

Either way it is a huge and treasonous deal. It surprises me how big this is and how few have figured it out yet.

[Oldexpat]

Why haven’t we heard from Assange lately?

A twitter user in Syria that I have grown to trust over the past few years told me yesterday that ISIS has retaken Palmyra and capture huge amounts of military equipment (tanks & heavy armor) from Assad’s Army. Several hundred killed solders in Assad’s army. The number is still disputed, but I have seen absolutely nothing in the press anywhere about it.

The reality on the ground is that Erdogan’s Turkish Army has captured and is holding large parts of Iraq and Syria with NO intentions to ever give it up. Other players are involved, I am sure Obama is a part of it.

FAKE NEWS STORY CREATED BY WASHINGTON POST!!

CIA: Washington Post Report Linking Russian Government to Trump & Election Hacking Is “Outright Lie”
December 12, 2016

http://truepundit.com/cia-washington-post-report-linking-russian-government-to-trump-election-hacking-is-outright-lie/

{Some choice quotes..}

The Central Intelligence Agency is declaring the Washington Post’s much-hyped story linking the Russian government to hacking the presidential election to help Donald Trump an “outright lie,” according to CIA personnel with direct knowledge of the case.

...

“It’s an outright lie,” a CIA analyst divulged to True Pundit. “There’s nothing definitive like that. There are leads from activity originating in Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Britain, France, China and Russia.”

CIA and intelligence sources, however, quickly countered McCain’s claims as speculative at best, saying his information is simply not accurate and he, as the Arizona senator has done previously, was grandstanding for the media without knowing key facts.

“If he (McCain) in fact is being told that information, it is bad information,” a CIA source said,

...

...

Sadly, he said, the Washington Post’s recent practices are not the exception but the rule at the newspaper.

“They just make news up, fabricate whatever news was required at the time, especially when they were scooped or embarrassed by other publications,” said Gregg Morris.

[RedWulf]

Someone in the CIA realized that attacking an incoming US president with fake news is likely to get the entire CIA canned.

[Texas Fossil]

The Twitter account in Syria that I mentioned also told me that at least 25 Kurd Twitter accounts of users in Syria have been hacked and taken over. It is possible that this is being done by Turkey, but I frankly doubt that. I suspect Obozo’s minions are doing it.

We in the US are being lied to daily about what the real agenda in Syria is. They are acting now, because they know this will end when Trump is in office.

[ScottinVA]

So, in all this noise about the Russians altering the election, I’d like to know exactly how...

1. The Russians told Hillary to assume Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to be slam-dunk wins, while engaging in ill-advised fantasies about capturing red states.

2. The Russians persuaded Hillary to demonize and alienate half the electorate as “deplorable” and “irredeemable.”

3. The Russians told Hillary not to use a Secure Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNet) account while SecState.

4. The Russians told her to lie about the cause to the faces of the families of the four Americans killed in the terror attacks in Benghazi.

5. The Russians persuaded her to run, without a single discernible accomplishment to her name.

6. The Russians cajoled her into engaging in illegal “pay for play” schemes involving the Clinton Foundation and foreign figures wanting special access to the Obama administration.

Easy Pesy. March the CIA director up to the hill for a talk with Trey.

[socal_parrot]

If there was anything I learned from the Wikileaks emails (besides the fact Podesta likes “pizza”), is the media is in collusion with the DNC.

The other interesting thing is Wikileaks was very under reported by the media, but now those hacked emails are supposed to be the main determinant of the election?

Oh, please.
